The Relic: First Guardian Pushed to Summer

Perp Games and Project Cloud Games announced that action RPG The Relic: First Guardian has been pushed back from its previously planned May 2026 release date. The game is now expected to release later this summer on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Perp Games CEO Rob Edwards provided the following comment:

The Relic: First Guardian is the first game made by the talented Project Cloud Games studio. It’s a highly ambitious title that has seen years of hard work poured into it. Given this, the team want to take just a little more time to polish their world and hence announce that we are pushing back the release date from May 26th to the summer of 2026.

Perp Games and Project Cloud appreciate your patience as we use this extra time to get every detail right and deliver an experience that meets the high standards of the community. We are excited to show you The Relic: First Guardian when it’s ready, which won’t be long now.

The Relic: First Guardian is set in the apocalyptic world of Arsiltus, which draws from Korean myths. Formerly prosperous, the destruction of a great relic saw Arsiltus swallowed by the void and turned into a land of death. Players are tasked with finding the pieces of the relic in order to close the void. Players can choose between different weapon types, with character growth based entirely on equipped runes, items, and more.
